Weight:(1)CT

Stone:(Sapphire)

Origin:(Tanzania)

Tanzania orange sapphire is a variety of sapphire found primarily in the Umba Valley of Tanzania, known for its vivid orange hues. These sapphires typically range from light to deep orange and can sometimes show a hint of pink, making them highly desirable in the gemstone market. The color is due to trace elements like iron and chromium.

Orange sapphires are considered a more affordable alternative to other orange gemstones like mandarin garnets and fire opals. They are often cut into various shapes, including round, oval, and cushion, and are prized for their brilliance and durability.

Tanzanian orange sapphires are not only valued for their beauty but also for their rarity, as the Umba Valley is one of the few places where these stones are found.
